Tanks for the correction. Well...Ahh, yes I misread. Tanks for the correction. Well, 5,000 movies to choose from is not quite as exciting as 50,000. But it would be interesting to compare: On Netflix your online viewing seems largely limited to movies no one wants to watch with the occasional exception to keep you using the service. In other words, most of the high demand movies are not available for online viewing. I wonder whether Amazons 5,000 online choices would be represented better by Netflix's online options or Netflix's mail options. If Amazon is making available online movies I would otherwise have to have shipped to watch via Netflix, that makes the Amazon option even more interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-364400881495627497.post-63093106074698605132011-02-23T13:56:35.358-05:002011-02-23T13:56:35.358-05:00I saw a Blockbuster store shutting down near me th...I saw a Blockbuster store shutting down near me the other day -- hard to compete with Amazon.

They barely get the whole online viewing thing figured out, and now instead of just dealing with Netflix they've gotta compete with Amazon! <br /><br />I'm pretty sure we have "Prime". We'll have to check this out. Could we live with Amazon's 50,000 options and drop Netflix? We'd lose our once a week movie that comes in the mail, but I wonder if we'd really miss it.<br /><br />DanielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
